This document is part of a Design Audit and Survey Toolkit intended for use across all healthcare properties, including primary care premises and those operated by independent contractors. It covers areas of healthcare premises where people with dementia are likely to attend as patients or visitors.
This Survey Checklist is in line with other NHSScotland guidance and assessment tools and uses the concept of ‘inclusive’ design, which tries to ensure that the built environment does not present insurmountable barriers to those who use it. Users will include people with physical, sensory and cognitive impairments, which may be progressive, intermittent or permanent and may also include people who may have temporary disabilities. Properly considered and designed facilities will benefit everyone, including people who use wheelchairs and walking aids, have other types of impairment, older people and families.
The Design Audit and Survey Toolkit is in three parts:
• Dementia Design Checklist
• Design for People with Dementia Audit Tool
• Four guidance publications on design and dementia
Please note this checklist is a basic tool which can be used for guidance in terms of building design. This is not the detailed checklist used in the Design Audit Certificate Service. The more detailed audit tool can be purchased here.
